Film Courage sat down with Lee Jessup to discuss the infamous first screenplay. Is it a mere first draft? Or is it a piece of work that can be optioned?

Jessup goes into detail on how a screenwriter’s first draft (and the next couple) should be harnessed as a learning exeprience to find voice, style and how to understand the detailed ins and outs of formatting.

Do you agree with what Jessup has to say?
